Radiation Oncologist

Radiation oncologists are medical doctors who specialize in using
radiation therapy to treat people who have cancer. Most people are referred to
a radiation oncologist by their primary doctors after a diagnosis of cancer. And
they see the radiation oncologist at his or her office or in a hospital or
extended-care facility.

Radiation oncologists can be board-certified through the Board of
Radiology, which is recognized by the American Board of Medical
Specialties.
